Multiple News Report Just Now

claim Trump is showing mild symptoms. I have to be honest. I think he is in deep trouble with Covid. It seems to be accelerating . We should as a nation be prepared to deal with the potential of a President Pence. Not being hyperbolic, just my read.

usually recover. Statistically he’s not in the ideal cohort but he’s also not tumbling into the grave. The likely outcome is recovery.

You don't contract COVID and show symptoms on the same day.

It takes a few days.

No spokesflack ever overstated the illness of a leader. If symptoms actually were mild, it would be said he had none.

Even with something similar to what I had, I don’t know how he could function competently.

Oh wait.

That there have been reports of some people getting mild symptoms for a couple of days and then seeming to be well.

Then, in a week or so, BAM! They go into full decline and some die very quickly after that.

...news like this is given out by the WH in measured doses, and this is huge, likely worse than is being said right now.

almost died. He was in ICU for several days.

I am furious-- the Trump spawn on Tuesday were arrogantly defying the rule at the Cleveland Clinic, flaunting their privilege-- "you can't tell us what to do."

And they had all been exposed, and their evil overlord father was mocking Biden for wearing a mask.

Biden was a ways away, but looking back, why didn't they put plexiglass between the podiums and in front of the moderator?

Now whether Father Pence would remain President after January 20th of next year is another matter.

I’m going to vote. I want both Donnie and Mike out of office.
